Actually, Bokuto is the top 5 ace in Japan and Ushijima is top 3

[@kronikevaporation6007]

Only reason Bokuto is not top 3 is because of his inconsistency, many would argue.

[@_TheStormThatIsApproaching]

No. We only know that Ushijima, Kiryu and Sakusa are top 3, and that Bokuto and Aran are both described as being "just outside of the top 3" or "top 5". We’re not made aware of any actual ranking between them.

this is one of my favorite anime ovas, but back when it was announced manga readers were a bit bummed it wasn't a part of a season since we wanted to see all of the fun little moments between the teams. a lot of the matches of the tokyo arc were cut for this ova but they still did a pretty good job of pacing the content. i still recommend the manga version for anyone who wants to see more of these teams, especially since my fav fukurodani character, konoha, had his whole mini arc scrapped ;-;

Itachiyama is not just pretty good. They're actually the winners of the Summer Interhigh (the prelims for which we saw in season 1) and their star ace? He's one of the top three aces in the nation, just like Ushijima, and the only 11th grader in the top five. All the others (Bokuto, Ushijima, and two others you haven't met yet) are 12th graders.

18:45 As huge as the Tokyo prefecture, it still only has2 teams going through. Other prefectures that also have 2 teams going through are Hokkaido, Kanagawa, and Aichi (but in real life, it's Osaka, not Aichi). The reason Tokyo gets a 3rd teams is because Tokyo hosts the Spring Nationals, so they get an extra team. Basically, the tournament consists of 52 boys teams (47 + 4 + 1) and 52 girls teams.

glad you guys showed akaashi some love (his name is more like ah-CAR-shee), he plays a big role in fukurodani as vice-captain by picking up bokuto when he's down and obviously his game-sense is crazy. he's probably one of my favourite characters outside of karasuno alongside kuroo :) Edit: thought i’d point out i’m british, so it’s more like an english ‘-CAR’ 😭

[@chairofthebored]

the manga says its Ah-kah-ah-she. the double a's in Akaashi are both pronounced

[@Maria-si3yt]

[@tamarlevy5949]

akaashi is one of my favorite characters. i love seeing him taking care of bokuto like a mother hen. he's always conscious of bokuto's mood swings, the game and the rest of the team, and he is definitely the primary strategist who steers fukurodani forward. also, something that was translated differently which i think was a shame, when akaashi talks at 12:08, the translation says troublesome kuroo-san, but in the manga it was pain-in-the-ass kuroo-san, which is so funny to me. kuroo is an amazing blocker and a threat to any offense, but akaashi would rather call him a pain in the ass lol

[@TrianaNero]

As a native speaker, the pronunciation Ange went for is pretty close; the "L" sound is actually softer, but that's not a common combination in English. There's no "ie" though, that's a Japanese twist on the name. 5:12 the word used in Japanese is more of a "beautiful [girl]" than "super hot" if you translate it literally, but anyway, Lev's just being a proud brother there x)

[@kita_no_ryuu]

"liev" is about as close as it's actually pronounced in russian

[@TrianaNero]

@@kita_no_ryuu if you barely pronounce the "i" sound, then that might be true, but from what I've heard so far most people tend to enunciate it quite clearly, which kinda puts an extra syllable in there, making the name sound a bit off

[@kita_no_ryuu]

@@TrianaNero yeah, i agree that pronouncing it slowly doesn't sound right either, though i still think it's better than the other option liev just feels like much less of a foreign accent than lev, if that makes sense

@@carolinaa.4617 I was shading y’all cause I didn’t realize you can also speak the language lol.

21:51 hello! as someone who's studying russian, "levchoka" isnt actually lev's full name! "levchoka" is a diminutive, which is essentially an affectionate nickname between close friends and family (and can come off as condescending or mocking when used by non family/friends). other diminutives may have "-ochk", "-ushk", etc. some diminutives may be different entirely (alexander = sasha, mikhail = mischa, etc)

This line about Tanaka is epic. I dont even seen anyone in reactions seen that. Everybody here knows what it means in future

[@moonynava513]

it's because we know what that means for the future. But I'm with u, it's epic everytime Ange talks about future expectation from Tanaka!

[@jrlombardi5251]

The reason why the Nekoma has another chance while Seijoh or Shiratorizawa didn't is bc Tokyo is really big so they have too many schools, thanks to this 2 teams can make it to nationals and, even more, since this year nationals will be at Tokyo they give the home an extra chance, so a third team can make it thanks to like a wild card, which would make a second team be able to go to nationals to if it was held on Karasuno's prefecture for example (but bc of the place they're from something as huge as nationals couldn't be done there).

[@jrlombardi5251]

About Lev's sister, it is in fact a subtitle thing, Yaku calls her beautiful and Lev answers she is, which is obviously meant in a brotherly way, it's meant to be super cute. Something kinda like the fact that Noya always hits on girls but he doesn't on Tanaka's sister even if she's hot bc he sees her as a sister and is always calling her as such, that type of vibe but with the actual brother having the cute moment recognizing his sister is wonderful and pretty, in the place of how normal siblings pick on each other, like Tanaka being embarrassed at Saeko cheering for him or Tsuki with his brother. It does really ruin it when they change it to "she's hot" and Lev agreeing, makes it weird and fucks up the meaning.

[@JeanLoupGarou]

Most reactors dislike Nohebi, so I had hopes that you'd see differently with your first reaction, but sadly you retracted your words :( But, and the manga shows it better than the anime in my opinion, and even Kuroo defends them for this, they are not bad guys (just slimy), and more importantly, they are seriously good at volleyball. There is nothing wrong with kissing ass in order for the ref to like you, and if it makes even just one point fall in your hand, then it's worth it. To me, they just understand that being better than the opponent is not only spiking better, receiving better, etc. They are closer to the professionalism of the sport. Just like you see football players always arguing for the possession on a line-out/corner kick (when they know damn well they touched the ball last), etc etc. They are not even being agressive about it, even their trashtalk is very tame, there are not even insults in there, and they specifically target the 2 hotheads. If they were purely assholes, they would be more agressive, and would throw shit at anyone, and on the contrary, they don't do it if it doesn't serve their objective : victory. Also, the repeated feints -> hitting Yamamoto in the face is basically the exact tactics Tsukki used against Seijoh in S1. Except he didn't get the face, so you are less shocked about it but had the Seijoh guy's reaction been any slower, he definitely would have taken a hit as well (You can still dislike them, and that attitude, though. It's totally valid to not like people. But they are not wrong to do it)

[@AllTheArtsy]

obligatory complaint (for me lol) that Tokyo, the biggest prefecture in terms of population, only gets 3 representative teams (and 1 is even a bonus because they always host the Spring Nationals) meanwhile most of the other prefectures get 1 each. someone else has done the math before, but really if based on prospective high school population, if Miyagi prefecture (where Karasuno is) gets 1 representative, Tokyo should get about 6

[@laurainathunderstorm]

I don't think all the others get 1, I'm pretty sure there's some others that get 2 as well, but Tokyo doesn't always get the venue representative right? Like I'm pretty sure the rule of an extra representative for the hosting prefecture comes from the fact that it's not the same host, otherwise Tokyo would just get 3 without that excuse. But yeah if we're going off population then Tokyo getting 2 representatives is a bit of a fuck up ngl 😅 Edit: so I looked it up and yes! Hokkaido, Kanagawa and Osaka all get 2 teams as well.

[@AllTheArtsy]

@@laurainathunderstorm thats why I said "most of the other prefectures." Also yes Tokyo is ALWAYS the Haruko host, so they always get 3. Which, as I said, is not even nearly enough based on proportional population

Itachiyama era el equipo del tipo que usaba cubrebocas que fue al campamento nacional con Kageyama

[@ZessDevon]

I think the way most of the characters pronounce "Lev" is just the result of Japanese accents on a western name. There are a lot of "sounds" that are common for us English speakers that are not used Japanese. For example, the "Th" , "L" , and "Hard R" sounds basically don't exist in Japanese. When Japanese speakers pronounce foreign names and words with those sounds, they often substitute the closest sounds that do occur in Japanese instead. "Th" sound becomes more like "S" "L" and "Hard R" turn into more of a "Rolled R" sound that's almost like a "D" sound. Example: "My *boo-ruh-sah* , Itadori Yuji" Additionally, most Japanese words end on a vowel sound. If they do happen to end on a consonant sound, it will usually be one that can be held like "S" or "N". When pronouncing a western word/name that ends in a consonant like "Lev" does, Japanese speakers will often add a vowel sound like "Oh" or "Ooo" at the end because from their perspective, it sounds more natural. Example: "Lefto" "7:44 Nice *Boo-rah-koo" So if we take "Lev" Replace "L" with "Rolled R" , Add an "ooo" because we can't end on the "V" sound And we arrive at "Ree-Ehh-Foo" In conclusion, pronouncing "Lev" like "Rev" (your engine) is valid and if you hear a non-Japanese name/word being pronounced with more/different syllables than you might expect, there's good chance one or more of these conditions apply. Thank you for attending this weeb Ted Talk.

[@professor_ryoma]

The pronunciation of Lev has little to do with Japanese accent. Since he has a Russian name, his pronunciation in the anime is similar to that of a native Russian speaker. However, the English subtitles are written alphabetically, so the pronunciation may feel strange.

[@ZessDevon]

@@professor_ryoma Well that's what I get for commenting without actually knowing Japanese or Russian Thank you for the correction

[@guidociaranfi6844]

​​​​@@ZessDevonI think your analysis is pretty accurate, its true that Lev's name follows Russian's pronounciation but its also adapted to japanese Only thing is that I wouldnt call the japanese R "rolled" because rolled Rs are the kind of sounds typical of spanish and italian such as "risotto" for example, and instead japanese R doesnt use the rolling of the tongue. As you said, the sound is close to a "d" because the tongue touches the palate (thats why its called palatal R) very close to the teeths ( if the tongue touches the teeths you get the t/d hard sound).

[@guidociaranfi6844]

​​@@ZessDevonIf you really havent studied japanese linguistic and phonetic its already quite impressive that you understood how the language works to this degree. Most anime watchers even after watching 300+ shows are completely clueless about japanese pronounciations, props to you
